This solitary mushroom was found a the West Coast forest. Please help me identify it.

The spore print is cinnamon rusty brown, the cap is grey-tan and is 5-cm in diametre, it smells fruity, the stem is 5-cm long (fragile, stains tan) but the most distinctive features are the frilly gills, and fluted edge. The cap appears torn and is very solid. It is convex. The flesh is light salmon coloured. The gills are not attached.

Do you have a pic or more details? It may be some type of Cortinarius, they have brown spores.

I do have 2 beautiful photos but they are not online, so I cannot show you.

I dont know what species it is, but from the description, especially the spores it *might* be in the Cortinarius genus.

I have provided pictures to go along with my description of the mysterious wild mushroom I found in a West Coast forest last week. I sure hope this helps identify it...
